The problem that I see with this is that using WO is problematic only (mostly?) for people trying to sell products or services into an organization that will use the status of WO to reject them. I would expect these same places to be RDBMS focused and also reject object database solutions for similar reasons. Said another way, if you can use object databases, you can probably also use WO without concern. >> That is a totally different discussion.

Use a mobile client technology like Sencha or Montage.
